I've seen this mentioned on japanese wikipedia, too.

While Gilver is not directly metioned in BtN, they seem to suggest that he was the Black Knight Mundus sent to kill Tony, as mentioned in Trish chapter, his abilities based on Sparda/Vergil/Dante's battle data from previous encounters with demons. Although Knights are said to be clad in strong armor, and Gilver is a slender man with wrapped face, in the first novel Nell notices that his shadow looks like an armored knight (at that time of course it was a hint to Nero Angelo).

So it could indeed have been Bingo's intention.

But I'd still wait for VoV to explain why V came looking for Dante to Bobby's Cellar of all places.
